Notifications Issues.

For a long while now, if I have notifications, the red number shows up, but the notifications never load; it just spins and spins and spins. I kludged a workaround once I realised that the dropdown menu lets you see all your notifications, not just the most recent, but I am stupid and it took me until a couple of weeks ago to figure that out. Yay me, I wound up missing a few personal messages I got sent because of the inability to read a drop down menu.

Anyway, right now I have a pretty, red, number one showing on my bell, that also isn't clearing, since I read the notification using the 'show all' option.

And marking all notifications as read does nothing to clear the indicator.

Have you tried clearing cookies and such or doing a hard reset with Ctrl+F5? Something might be not playing nicely between the saved stuff and the current stuff.

Clearing cookies, no. I'll try the hard reset, though now the pretty red box is all gone.

@hedgehog

There. New red boxes.

@derp

Hard reset resulted in more spinning, no loading.

I believe it's part of the forum's more general shitfuckery with... whatever technical shit is going on with it behind the scenes that makes it break.

I also thought that perhaps the various adblockers and do-not-track-mes that I have on my laptop were the source, but nah. It also happens on the ole Pixel 5 phone.

It's not so bad now that I've realised I can just drop down to 'show all notifications', so at least that way I can still see messages.

I'm grateful that people looked into it, though. Thank you, MUSB admins.
